Popular Post southvillekiddy Posted February 3, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Aside from the comprehensive examination of what happened in the transfer window in the latest press briefing and the implications for the squad and remainder of the season, it's Pearson's delivery (always erudite) and his personal qualities coming through that are so impressive to me. If he has uttered a word of bullshit in briefings since being with us, i haven't heard it. The way he talks about the players, staff and CEO and what is gradually improving at our Club under very tight circumstances is inspiring and gives me true confidence for the future. We're lucky to have him. 42 5 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) I've said this before but what's impressed me throughout with Pearson is, whether things have been going well or badly, I think he's always genuinely tried to look at the long-term interests of the club and has never gone for quick fixes even where it would have made his own life easier. There's still a way to go before we can say for sure if recent results are evidence that we've finally found consistency but the squad is leaner and stronger than it has looked for quite some time and it feels like we're in a place where there's a clear pathway for young players, plenty of potential talent to capitalise on that pathway, a few experienced heads to guide a young squad and, after the summer, we should no longer have players on contracts that don't reflect the current market. That gives us a very strong foundation for the future. Edited February 3, 2023 by LondonBristolian 11 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I remember GJ tripping Chopra and a Swansea player too perhaps in the same season too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, some of these OTT love ins for him with no acceptance of any errors are nauseating and a little disturbing.

Popular Post GrahamC Posted February 3, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I know others aren’t a fan but I just think he’s the right bloke at the right time. He’s been around football long enough now to be philosophical about the lack of resources (never heard him once moan about it), he probably sees this as his last role in the game & even though he’s still occasionally a little bit spiky in press conferences, think he’s probably past the “ostrich” phase & far less likely to strangle an opposition player than in his younger days… As his been pointed out, he’s cliche free, does (like all of us) of course have his regular turn of phrases but attempts to explain in a way that enlightens the listener. Huge fan, wish we had made this type of appointment more often in the past. 26 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Although results haven't always been great, i've always retorted that he is the right man for the job. I've never known City to be as professionally ran as it has been in the last 18 months or so. Both he, Richard Gould and Brian Tinnion deserve a lot of credit in turning around the tide from the joke outfit we'd become behind the scenes before they Gould and Pearson arrived. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're lucky to have him. We certainly are fortunate to have Nige at the helm. He really is a proper manager and dare I say it is heading to the top of my favourite City manager list of the last 30 years. He and Danny Wilson in the top two and maybe it’s not a coincidence that they were teammates at Sheffield Wednesday………….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because he finds talking to the media boring. I'd wager a large sum he finds it his least favourite part of the job, a chore but a necessary "evil".

Sorry to hear that you can be so inappropriately nauseated and disturbed. Never heard before that offering praise when it's due could be a sign of a personality disorder.
